Nellys Been A Bad Boy

Hi i went earier and picked up four large silver shark's and four Pimelodus pictus, also they gave me a large redtailed black shark and a candy stipe plec.
What we did not realise, after boxing the four silver shark's all around 6-8inche's, and receiving a nice shower in the process, we went and caught the first Pimelodus pictus with a net did not realise there fin's both side's and top have a spine, which got caught up in the net, after around 5-10mins of helping the catfish<and impaling my finger on the spine> we managed to realease it, Brainwave struck, got a fish bag and put it in the net and wrapped it over, granted it created a bit of drag, but we caught the other three and every time we took net out bag was still full which made the fish not thrash about all are now in my tank, no worse for the trip
will post some pictures tommorow

rest of the pictures are going to be in the photo lounge

Pims can be a pig to catch

Years ago I had to cut one out of a net - it swum around with a bit of net round its fin for weeks

hehe plan's are set back a wee bit, got to make sure everythings right before moving half way round the world
yes they are beautiful, like a little pack of foxe's moving around the tank, at present there all laying on the floor watching tv, every so often they swop spots, up and over

Beautiful fish - always nice when you can do a good deed and get more fish out of the deal!
Hope you're healing well and escape infection - thank goodness it wasn't a type with toxins!
